Rich Again Riddim – Platta Recording Studio

Platta Recording Studio’s Rich Again Riddim lands as a tight 2013 soca set with seven cuts and no wasted space, and the pull here is the mix of names rather than any grand concept. Lil Rick’s “Behave Pun It” feels like the obvious anchor, with his patter sitting neatly inside the same party-ready frame as Peter Ram’s “Stop Halfway” and Salt’s cheekier “Headboard. ” Crimeson opens things with “Coming Home Drunk, ” so the tone is set early: plenty of road energy, a little mischief, and that brisk Barbadian soca pulse Platta was working with around the time. Gorg, Scrilla and Uncle Sam fill out the lineup without crowding the rhythm, and the whole thing stays lean at seven tracks, which suits it just fine.
